:00:00. > :00:10.The government is accused of turning its back on Syria's refugees by not

:00:11. > :00:13.offering any a safe haven here. Hundreds of thousands are forced to

:00:14. > :00:24.eke out an existence in sub-zero temperatures, three years after the

:00:25. > :00:28.civil war began. The world's big powers haven't been able to stop the

:00:29. > :00:30.war in Syria. Perhaps that's not surprising. But sorting out this

:00:31. > :00:33.problem should be much easier. The Prime Minister insists Britain

:00:34. > :00:37.should be proud of the amount of aid it has given to help the refugees.

:00:38. > :00:39.Also tonight. The closure of the first free school, ordered to shut

:00:40. > :00:44.down after education standards were deemed too poor. After the execution

:00:45. > :00:46.of North Korea's second most powerful figure, there are concerns

:00:47. > :00:52.about the stability of the secretive communist state. And Nigella Lawson

:00:53. > :00:57.is accused of lying in court about the extent of her drug use. I'm in

:00:58. > :01:02.Nelson Mandela's home village as preparations are under way for a

:01:03. > :01:05.state funeral this Sunday. In Pretoria, a last chance for South

:01:06. > :01:07.Africans to see their revered leader. And a desperate rush as some

:01:08. > :01:19.fear they won't make it. In sports day, another tough day for

:01:20. > :01:22.tourists. A century for Steve Smith means England's cricketers are up

:01:23. > :01:44.against it again in the Ashes series.

:01:45. > :01:49.Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six. Concern is growing for hundreds

:01:50. > :01:51.of thousands of Syrian refugees forced to endure an exceptionally

:01:52. > :01:54.harsh winter storm and freezing temperatures with no more than tents

:01:55. > :01:57.for shelter. The human rights organisation Amnesty International

:01:58. > :02:00.says Europe should hang its head in shame for failing to provide a safe

:02:01. > :02:04.haven. David Cameron has rejected the criticism saying Britain can be

:02:05. > :02:08.proud of the amount of aid it has given. Our Middle East Editor Jeremy

:02:09. > :02:17.Bowen has spent the day with refugees in the Bekaa Valley in

:02:18. > :02:22.Lebanon. No working caps, nowhere else, only slow. Women in this camp

:02:23. > :02:30.collected two melted back into water. However bad, it gets here,

:02:31. > :02:34.the families still have to drink. An extended family of 20 live in this

:02:35. > :02:39.had in a refugee settlement in the Northern Bekaa Valley. They have a

:02:40. > :02:44.small stove, but they don't have much wood, so they were boarding --

:02:45. > :02:48.burning plastic mat. The area around the stove was quite warm but the

:02:49. > :02:54.fumes of burning plastic hung heavy in the air. This is no place to be a

:02:55. > :03:03.child. It's a much worse place to be a baby. Two sisters-in-law, 18 and

:03:04. > :03:10.19, spend their days close to the small stove with their newborn sons.

:03:11. > :03:14.Both around one-month-old. The babies have colds. Their mothers are

:03:15. > :03:18.trying to breast-feed but it's hard because they are undernourished,

:03:19. > :03:23.living each day on a single bowl of lentil soup or rice and beans. They

:03:24. > :03:29.mix some baby formula with the melted snow water. One was born

:03:30. > :03:32.without a hand. His mother said he was delivered by midwife and is

:03:33. > :03:37.never seen a doctor. She has been told in operation could help him.

:03:38. > :03:42.TRANSLATION: It needs money but I don't have it. He could possibly

:03:43. > :03:49.have an operation but I don't have money to take him. The family seemed

:03:50. > :03:53.to share a lot of love. But there are close to destitute. Because of

:03:54. > :03:57.the cold and the lack of water, this is all but a bucket of melted snow

:03:58. > :04:03.makes. They haven't washed the babies for around two weeks. Most

:04:04. > :04:05.Syrian refugees live in informal settlements as the Lebanese

:04:06. > :04:12.government doesn't allow the huge camps which have been built in

:04:13. > :04:15.Jordan. It means aid is haphazard. In all the refugee settlements there

:04:16. > :04:20.are children who don't have shoes, and proper winter clothes. They

:04:21. > :04:24.often smile, but they are cold, undernourished and on the edge of

:04:25. > :04:27.illness. The world 's big powers have not been able to stop the War

:04:28. > :04:32.in Syria, perhaps that's not so surprising. But sorting out this

:04:33. > :04:38.problem surely should be much easier. What it needs most is a

:04:39. > :04:42.mixture of political will, and money. And the fact that these

:04:43. > :04:47.people are still living like this in the third year of this crisis

:04:48. > :04:55.suggests there is not enough of either. Big sums of money have been

:04:56. > :04:59.donated to help Syrian refugees. But very little has reached here. These

:05:00. > :05:03.are resilient people and local aid workers say the camp is no better or

:05:04. > :05:07.no worse than the others in the area. The humanitarian crisis caused

:05:08. > :05:17.by the Syrian war is growing exponentially. A bitter day is

:05:18. > :05:19.becoming another freezing night. Human rights organisations say

:05:20. > :05:24.woefully little has been done to resettle the most vulnerable Syrian

:05:25. > :05:28.refugees. So far the conflict has led to 2.3 million people fleeing to

:05:29. > :05:31.neighbouring countries. As we've seen, they are living in harsh

:05:32. > :05:36.conditions, in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. Amnesty

:05:37. > :05:42.International say only around 55,000 refugees have reached EU countries.

:05:43. > :05:50.Hundreds have lost their lives in the process. It says, so far, the EU

:05:51. > :05:53.has failed to play its part. The money the UK Government has pledged

:05:54. > :05:56.its very important but it's extremely important to take the most

:05:57. > :06:03.vulnerable people who are finding it extremely hard, to continue living

:06:04. > :06:06.in places like Lebanon, the UK needs to take more people, resettle more

:06:07. > :06:10.people like other countries have done like Germany, the USA,

:06:11. > :06:14.Australia and Canada. Only ten EU states out of 28 have offered to

:06:15. > :06:24.resettle refugees. Germany will take 10,000 people. France, 500. And

:06:25. > :06:27.Spain just 50. The UK has no plans to take any. But the government

:06:28. > :06:30.points out it has already pledged ?500 million in aid. That's more

:06:31. > :06:35.than the rest of Europe put together. We have spent a huge

:06:36. > :06:39.amount of money making sure that people have somewhere to go, making

:06:40. > :06:43.sure they have water, food and shelter. Britain can be proud of the

:06:44. > :06:47.role being played and the money we have put in. Other European

:06:48. > :06:49.countries should now do more. But aid organisations say Syrian

:06:50. > :06:53.refugees have been miserably failed by EU nations and until Europe opens

:06:54. > :06:56.its doors to more of them, the situation will only get worse. Let's

:06:57. > :07:02.join Jeremy Bowen live in the Bekaa Valley. Jeremy, it looks absolutely

:07:03. > :07:06.desperate their anti-Europe and Britain have been criticised for not

:07:07. > :07:09.taking in enough Syrian refugees. Given there are over 2 million

:07:10. > :07:18.displaced, is that a realistic proposition? Yes, around 2 million

:07:19. > :07:22.who have actually fled the country. Within the country, Estimates vary

:07:23. > :07:26.up to about 9 million, I think it is now, people who have been displaced

:07:27. > :07:30.from their homes. You are talking about large numbers of people. The

:07:31. > :07:35.family who featured in that report I did with the two babies, I asked

:07:36. > :07:38.them did they want to come to Europe. Particularly since one of

:07:39. > :07:41.the children was of course born disabled without a hand? Maybe they

:07:42. > :07:46.could get medical treatment the base of no, they would rather go home if

:07:47. > :07:49.they could. The problem is, they can't get home because it is so

:07:50. > :07:53.dangerous there because the war is going on. There's another problem in

:07:54. > :07:59.terms of day-to-day aid. Here in the Bekaa Valley at the moment, the

:08:00. > :08:02.roads are blocked. It is a flat area with mountains on that side going to

:08:03. > :08:06.Beirut and on that side, going to Syria. All the road out of the Bekaa

:08:07. > :08:11.Valley are closed because of the weather. And that means we can't get

:08:12. > :08:15.out but also means more aid can't get in, so come on all levels of the

:08:16. > :08:19.moment, those people, I think, in those camps are going to have to

:08:20. > :08:25.stay where they are and their lot is not necessarily going to get any

:08:26. > :08:29.better very quickly. OK, Jeremy, in the Bekaa Valley in the Vermont,

:08:30. > :08:32.thank you. A free school in West Sussex which opened just two years

:08:33. > :08:34.ago has been ordered to close. The Montessori Discovery New School in

:08:35. > :08:37.Crawley went into special measures in May when the education

:08:38. > :08:42.inspectorate warned that children risked leaving not being able to red

:08:43. > :08:46.and write. -- red and write. It's the first free school to be shut

:08:47. > :08:49.down. An embarrassment for the government as free schools are one

:08:50. > :08:54.of its flagship education policies. Our Education Correspondent Reeta

:08:55. > :08:58.Chakrabarti reports. The first free school in England to be closed,

:08:59. > :09:02.inspectors had feared children here at Montessori Discovery New School

:09:03. > :09:05.might leave unable to read and write properly. A damning verdict which is

:09:06. > :09:08.forced ministers to act. A spokeswoman for the school and

:09:09. > :09:13.parents expressed deep disappointment. In the last ten

:09:14. > :09:18.days, governors, staff, headteacher and parents have worked incredibly

:09:19. > :09:22.hard to address everything she raised, so I think we were surprised

:09:23. > :09:26.because I think we pulled really hard to put everything out of the

:09:27. > :09:30.bag for this. In the summer, it was judged inadequate in most areas.

:09:31. > :09:33.Teaching was inadequate, and headteacher was said to lack the

:09:34. > :09:36.skills and knowledge to improve it. There was a change of headteacher

:09:37. > :09:40.but ministers were still not persuaded the school could turn

:09:41. > :09:43.itself around. The first free skilled casualty means this

:09:44. > :09:47.high-profile and controversial policy is now back in the spotlight.

:09:48. > :09:52.There are 174 free schools in England, and can be set up by

:09:53. > :09:55.different groups like parents and charities. The skills are

:09:56. > :10:01.independent of state funded. Report this week that each freeze could

:10:02. > :10:07.cost million on average. Two schools have so far been judged inadequate.

:10:08. > :10:11.This skill in Derby is the other poorly performing schools. But it

:10:12. > :10:15.has been given more time to improve under new leadership. Labour says

:10:16. > :10:21.today's developer and stems from a reckless use of public money by the

:10:22. > :10:25.government. The government opening free skilled and a breakneck pace

:10:26. > :10:28.and not doing the due diligence, not doing the planning on the opening of

:10:29. > :10:32.the schools. They haven't got qualified teachers in the classroom,

:10:33. > :10:36.no systems of wine and shall transparency. But ministers say they

:10:37. > :10:41.have acted quickly. As soon as they saw things going wrong. In this

:10:42. > :10:45.case, we took robust action where the teaching was inadequate. And we

:10:46. > :10:49.need to make sure that the school are in a better school, better

:10:50. > :10:53.teaching in future. It is still a day ministers will of hoped not to

:10:54. > :10:56.see, a bad day for a flagship policy. The school said it

:10:57. > :11:00.considering legal action. In the meantime, the children will have to

:11:01. > :11:02.found different schools. There's international concern

:11:03. > :11:05.tonight about the stability of the secretive state of North Korea after

:11:06. > :11:08.the execution of the regime's second most powerful figures Jang Song Tek

:11:09. > :11:13.was the uncle of the country's leader, Kim Jong Un. It's reported

:11:14. > :11:20.he was shot by machine gun after being found guilty of treason.

:11:21. > :11:23.Official statements described him as despicable human scum worse than a

:11:24. > :11:26.dog. South Korea has promised a heightened state of readiness. While

:11:27. > :11:28.the British government said it was deeply concerned about the incident.

:11:29. > :11:36.Our Seoul correspondent Lucy Williamson reports. This is the man

:11:37. > :11:39.who sought to bring down the North Korean regime. The once powerful

:11:40. > :11:45.uncle of the country's young ruler, reinvented as a criminal and a

:11:46. > :11:49.leader of a coup. Faced with magical, before his execution. His

:11:50. > :11:56.crimes are plotting to seize power, the most serious North Korea can

:11:57. > :12:00.muster. His old influence and proximity to the North Korean ruling

:12:01. > :12:09.dynasty only underlines the message delivered with his death. That no

:12:10. > :12:12.one, not even family, is immune. The state news agency described him as

:12:13. > :12:19.worse than a dog. And a traitor to the nation for all ages. With a

:12:20. > :12:23.dirty political ambition. So who was the dead man? Jang Song Tek was

:12:24. > :12:29.powerfully placed in North Korea's ruling group. He was married for

:12:30. > :12:34.decades to the sister of the former ruler Kim Jong il. He died two years

:12:35. > :12:39.ago passing control to his young son, Kim Jong un. He has now

:12:40. > :12:46.reportedly purged all opposition. News of execution told of a man

:12:47. > :12:53.responsible for all North Korea's ills. Its corruption and economic

:12:54. > :12:59.failure. A despicable reformer close to China, and a warning to all those

:13:00. > :13:02.who hope for change. Just over 100 miles away, here in the South Korean

:13:03. > :13:08.capital, there is worry about what North Korea will look like without

:13:09. > :13:12.its elder statesman. Jang Song Tek was seen as being too close to its

:13:13. > :13:16.leader to cold, but there's a new generation rising and it's just

:13:17. > :13:23.proved it will do whatever it takes to stay in power. In this reign of

:13:24. > :13:28.terror, Kim Jong un has to realise, he has got to bring home the goods.

:13:29. > :13:34.And if the people don't have food or jobs, or security, then who else can

:13:35. > :13:38.he blame? Jang Song Tek has already been edited out of official

:13:39. > :13:42.documentaries also his story rewritten by the country's powerful

:13:43. > :13:47.propaganda machine. But many believe that story reveals far more about

:13:48. > :13:53.the fears and floors eating away at the heart of the regime. Nigella

:13:54. > :13:57.Lawson has been accused of lying in court about the extent of her drug

:13:58. > :13:59.use. Her former personal assistant Elisabetta Grillo told Isleworth

:14:00. > :14:04.Crown Court she believed the celebrity chef habitually used class

:14:05. > :14:08.A and B drugs. Ms Grillo and sister Francesca are on trial for fraud

:14:09. > :14:18.which they both deny. Luisa Baldini reports. It contains flash

:14:19. > :14:20.photography. Nigella Lawson's former personal assistant Elisabetta

:14:21. > :14:25.Grillo, seen here on the right, was given a second day of evidence. She

:14:26. > :14:29.told the court her former bosses and their other personal assistance and

:14:30. > :14:32.who have given evidence in this trial, have lied and that she was

:14:33. > :14:38.telling the truth. The prosecution asked her, is it your evidence that

:14:39. > :14:43.Miss Lawson lied to the court? She replied, yes, and Mr Saatchi? Yes.

:14:44. > :14:49.And you're the one telling the truth? I am. Their defence is there

:14:50. > :14:53.was a tacit agreement with the TV chef she could spend on the credit

:14:54. > :14:58.card provider to her if she did not reveal her boss's alleged

:14:59. > :15:02.drug-taking to her then husband Charles Saatchi. She told the court

:15:03. > :15:06.it was after seeing these photos of Mr Saatchi's hand around Miss Lawson

:15:07. > :15:12.Matt was neck and tweaking her nose, she provided a supplementary defence

:15:13. > :15:16.statement last month mentioning Miss Lawson's alleged drug-taking and

:15:17. > :15:19.said, I didn't want to use it before because I want to protect her. I

:15:20. > :15:24.think, especially when Charles picked on her nose, it was proof she

:15:25. > :15:27.still took drugs, and he discovered that day. So we then decided it was

:15:28. > :15:32.a moment for everyone to know the truth, she could lie easily.

:15:33. > :15:36.Questioned about cash withdrawals on her credit card, she told the court

:15:37. > :15:41.shoe was allowed for the she said once, Charles Saatchi asked her to

:15:42. > :15:45.get a taxi to book shops across London, buying up copies of his

:15:46. > :15:49.books so it went up the book list. He didn't want to use a credit card

:15:50. > :15:53.for that. She also explained that duty-free transaction for cigarettes

:15:54. > :15:57.which were for Nigella Lawson underboss children. She acknowledged

:15:58. > :16:04.they were underage at the time but said Miss Lawson did allow them to

:16:05. > :16:13.smoke weed. Elisabetta Grillo and her sister deny fraud and the case

:16:14. > :16:17.continues. Our top story this evening.

:16:18. > :16:20.The refugee crisis in Syria - as hundreds of thousands shiver in

:16:21. > :16:26.camps, Britain is accused of not doing enough to help. Coming up:

:16:27. > :16:29.Preparations are underway in South Africa for the funeral of Nelson

:16:30. > :16:40.Mandela, George Alagiah will be live from Mr Mandela's hometown. In the

:16:41. > :16:45.next 15 minutes, I look at the weekend's Premier League matches,

:16:46. > :16:55.bad news for Manchester United, an injury for Robin van Persie.

:16:56. > :17:00.Good evening from Qunu, Nelson Mandela's remote childhood village

:17:01. > :17:05.in the Eastern Cape. Preparations are underway here for the arrival of

:17:06. > :17:12.Nelson Mandela's body tomorrow. It was his wish to be buried near the

:17:13. > :17:15.place of his birth. Up north in Pretoria, three days of lying in

:17:16. > :17:18.state have come to an end. Officials say a 100,000 people filed past Mr

:17:19. > :17:23.Mandela's body. But as our special correspondent Fergal Keane reports,

:17:24. > :17:28.many were turned away. On the last day of lying in state,

:17:29. > :17:33.the patience of some was beginning to wear thin. They feared they would

:17:34. > :17:40.never get to pay their respects to their dead leader. The policeman

:17:41. > :17:49.called for calm. Then a gap was forced. The young were swept

:17:50. > :17:55.through. It was a brief moment of drama, quickly contained by the

:17:56. > :17:58.police. There were no serious injuries but all of this indicative

:17:59. > :18:09.of the powerful feelings evoked by the death of Nelson Mandela. A pain

:18:10. > :18:12.that here transcends all divides. We wanted to maybe push inside, so we

:18:13. > :18:17.can be able to give our last respects to him. But a government

:18:18. > :18:23.minister acknowledged many would not get through. If the numbers are too

:18:24. > :18:31.big, there is nothing we can do, we don't have to apologise, that is the

:18:32. > :18:34.situation. 500 miles the South, over his birthplace, the military

:18:35. > :18:39.practised their flyover on Sunday's funeral. Operations here are

:18:40. > :18:50.gathering pace. This is the convoy that will gather his body to its

:18:51. > :18:54.final resting place. A away from the formality of the state occasion,

:18:55. > :19:02.these ANC members run the man who was to them that a global icon but a

:19:03. > :19:05.local hero. -- remember the man. There are small in prompted

:19:06. > :19:10.celebrations of Nelson Mandela's life taking place in townships

:19:11. > :19:14.across South Africa. But here, in his home region, the sense of

:19:15. > :19:22.anticipation ahead of Sunday's funeral is particularly intense.

:19:23. > :19:27.This is one of the poorest parts of South Africa. A place of deep anger

:19:28. > :19:31.over government corruption, the failure to deliver on the promises

:19:32. > :19:34.of liberation. Yet for people like this one dead mother of five

:19:35. > :19:46.children, Mandela is exempt from blame. Do you feel proud he came

:19:47. > :19:53.from this place? Crustacean macro -- transocean macro I am so proud. As

:19:54. > :20:01.the day ended, the company was being readied to leave Pretoria. The man

:20:02. > :20:04.who led South Africa to freedom will make his last journey to the place

:20:05. > :20:07.of his birth. With the funeral less than 48 hours

:20:08. > :20:09.away, there've been discussions between government officials and

:20:10. > :20:14.local chiefs about how Sunday's ceremony in Qunu should be

:20:15. > :20:25.conducted. Nelson Mandela was born into a minor branch of the royal

:20:26. > :20:28.house. But some here are unhappy that the government is playing too

:20:29. > :20:33.prominent a role. This is where his journey from her board president

:20:34. > :20:37.began, 600 miles from Johannesburg and 1 million miles from the world

:20:38. > :20:41.of politics, business and celebrity that Nelson Mandela came to inhabit.

:20:42. > :20:46.It's one of the poorest parts of the country, having produced a global

:20:47. > :20:54.icon hasn't changed that. Here they think it's time for him to come

:21:21. > :21:25.up problems, there's been talk of a rift between these elders and the

:21:26. > :21:28.government. It's a clash between the demands of the modern state funeral

:21:29. > :21:34.and ancient rites, handed down through generations. We don't want

:21:35. > :21:41.to create any tension, any chaos, any disruption. The government, we

:21:42. > :21:49.understand how a statesman should be dealt with. It's been a challenge to

:21:50. > :21:54.balance Nelson Mandela's heritage and his role as a former head of

:21:55. > :21:57.state. It captures perfectly the tension there always was between his

:21:58. > :22:02.respect for tradition but his willingness to set that aside in the

:22:03. > :22:07.pursuit of political and social progress. So on Sunday, when he is

:22:08. > :22:11.buried here, Nelson Mandela's life will have come full circle. That

:22:12. > :22:15.night he has in common with many others in this part of the world.

:22:44. > :22:46.on Sunday, on BBC One, from 6am. Plans for a giant wind farm three

:23:49. > :23:54.achievements of his team-mates, who suffered serving their country.

:23:55. > :24:05.Everyone is so happy. We have all had photos, hugs. All in all, the

:24:06. > :24:09.mission is a success. United after the race became an expedition, they

:24:10. > :24:12.have made it to the bottom of the world.

:24:13. > :24:16.Cricket and England started well but ended badly as the third Ashes test

:24:17. > :24:19.got underway in Perth. At one point Australia, batting first, teetered

:24:20. > :24:22.on 143 for five. But the hosts recovered to end the day in a

:24:23. > :24:29.commanding position. Joe Wilson reports.

:24:30. > :24:33.Fast bowler, fast car. Mitchell Johnson tried to get a parking space

:24:34. > :24:42.on his home ground. No special measures. This is despite England

:24:48. > :24:52.Chris Rogers took on James Anderson and throw one, run out. Having won

:24:53. > :24:56.the toss, Australia seemed to be foisting the chance to bat first.

:24:57. > :25:03.Watson: , will hold by Graeme Swann who then got rid of Australia's

:25:04. > :25:10.captain. David Warner played fluently to 60 then held. George

:25:11. > :25:16.Bailey wanted to help England with the catching practice. Here you go,

:25:17. > :25:22.have this one! But Steve Smith led the revival. This shot to get to 50.

:25:23. > :25:29.England kept rotating their bowlers to try to deal with the intense

:25:30. > :25:36.heat, but Brad Haddin treated as an scornfully. Smith stayed. By the

:25:37. > :25:40.time he made his century, Australia were delighted with their recovery.

:25:41. > :25:47.By the close, Mitchell Johnson was having great fun batting. Australia

:25:48. > :25:52.326 46. There are some key places in Perth but for England, it must seem

:25:53. > :25:55.like a harsh environment. On the second day, Mitchell Johnson will be

:25:56. > :25:59.revved up and ready to let them again. Time for a look at the

:26:00. > :26:08.weather. Last night we had a spookily warm

:26:09. > :26:11.night for the time of year. Overnight lows within double

:26:12. > :26:21.figures, tonight, different story. Clearer skies and a chilly night.

:26:22. > :26:25.Still some rain to get rid of, but by the end of the night, we will be

:26:26. > :26:29.fine, thanks to high pressure building from the south but keep

:26:30. > :26:34.your eye on the Atlantic that's what we're contending with on Saturday

:26:35. > :26:42.daytime. Quite chilly in the towns and cities first thing on Saturday,

:26:43. > :26:50.but lots of sunshine. Notice how the wind picks up towards the West, and

:26:51. > :26:57.in comes the rain, the wind could cost up to 70 mph, strong enough to

:26:58. > :27:03.cause some damage. Eastern and central areas will benefit, staying

:27:04. > :27:06.fine until after dark. The system will work its way South-East, the

:27:07. > :27:14.rain and wind through Saturday evening, a Saudi feel that evening,

:27:15. > :27:19.later on, something more wintry across Scotland, then it goes quiet

:27:20. > :27:23.towards the end of the night but we're not done, Sunday daytime we

:27:24. > :27:27.need to look towards the Atlantic, another area of low pressure which

:27:28. > :27:33.could again bring some strong winds and heavy rain into Scotland and

:27:34. > :27:39.Northern Ireland. It's those winds that will most concern us

:27:40. > :27:45.particularly late on on Sunday. They could cost up to 80 mph, even

:27:46. > :27:49.stronger than late on Saturday. To sum the weekend up for Scotland and

:27:50. > :27:52.Northern Ireland, some pretty stormy spells. England and Wales doing

:27:53. > :28:04.quite well by day at times. There is criticism that Europe isn't

:28:05. > :28:11.doing enough to help the plight of Syrian refugees as one of the

:28:12. > :28:12.harshest winters in the Middle East for years strong was in. Draws
